Days of our Lives, Brady didn’t hold back in showing his contempt for Kristen after he learned what she did to Johnny. Brady put aside his hate for his ex for Rachel’s sake as she faces another health crisis. However, alone, Kristen saw a cruel side of Brady she wasn’t prepared for.
Key Takeaways
- Brady told Kristen what Rachel said about her.
- Kristen was in disbelief.
- Brady told the truth, but what was really driving his honesty?
The Honest Truth Kristen Never Expected
Amid Rachel’s (Lorelei Olivia Mote) medical crisis, Brady (Eric Martsolf) lost it on Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) as the latter pleaded with Brady to let her stay. Kristen’s instinct after being on the run was to return to Salem for the sake of her daughter immediately.
What she didn’t know was that Brady had learned Kristen was the mastermind behind Sophia (Rachel Boyd), nearly killing Johnny (Carson Boatman). The revelation changed something in the way he viewed Kristen and the part he wanted Kristen to play in Rachel’s life.
Brady didn’t pull any punches when he declared Rachel had barely mentioned Kristen before she got sick and became scared. If that wasn’t enough, Brady informed Kristen that Rachel said things are easier without Kristen around.
Then he expressed that Rachel deserved a better relationship with her mother than Kristen has given her throughout her life. Brady’s not wrong about what Rachel deserves. He has watched Rachel’s life be turned upside down because of Kristen, even if the latter didn’t mean to or do it intentionally.
What’s Best for Rachel?
There’s no question that both Brady and Kristen love Rachel. However, Brady is right about the turmoil and chaos that Kristen brings into their daughter’s life.
Rachel clocking who her mother is at such a young age speaks volumes, and Brady noticed it. While his words may have been harsh, they were honest, and Kristen needed to hear them.
Brady has allowed Rachel to explore her true feelings for Kristen amid her mother’s latest disappearance. Rachel has only just begun to figure out her complex relationship with Kristen.
Sharing with Kristen what Rachel said to him about her mother may have been meant to protect Rachel, but Brady’s anger was front and center. Brady couldn’t control the hate and anger he has for Kristen and what she keeps putting their daughter through.
When Rachel finds out Kristen was behind her cousin nearly being killed, it will only reaffirm her feelings that life is better without Kristen. Brady knows that and wants to protect his daughter, but he also has his own feelings about what Kristen did.
Anger is a powerful thing, and Brady used it in his words to Kristen as he spoke a truth she needed to hear for Rachel’s sake.
